In summary, my time at this center has been transformative, equipping me with both academic knowledge and practical skills. I highly recommend this center to anyone pursuing a career in marketing, as it truly stands as a hub of excellence in marketing education.
A unique experience
Positive university experience. The project-based learning pedagogy suits me and I have made great progress not only on the technical level, but also on the social and relational level. I am now quite comfortable speaking and I learned to work in a team and to provide quality work whatever the constraints and the people with whom I worked. however, some improvements can be made in terms of support for internship searches.
Learn more!
At the university you study more theory than in the short cycle, but both combine make me a great professional as I have knowledge in both theory and practice. I'm still sutdying, so I can become a more experienced specialist in all theese fields.
